May the Fourth Be With You. I’m an unrepentant Star Wars fan. And yes, I am writing an episode on how Mandalorianism is a religion. Glad you asked. In the meantime, as we celebrate May 4th, we’re hosting a guest lecture on Star Wars and the Hero’s Journey over at The Religion Department later this month. It’s pay-what-you-want to join, and it’s being taught by Dr. Russell P. Johnson, who literally teaches courses on Star Wars and Religion. He’ll walk through Joseph Campbell’s “Hero’s Journey,” why it shaped Star Wars, and how scholars actually critique his “monomyth” idea. Register here: www.religiondepartment.com/theherojourney

Join our Jainism lecture TODAY: "Sticky Souls & Moral Matter: Karma in Jain Thought" with Dr. Lynna Dhanani: www.religiondepartment.com/jainkarma

In Jain philosophy, karma is described as fine particles of matter that bind to the soul, shaping your experiences and rebirths until they’re purified through ethical discipline and ascetic practice. Dr. Dhanani will explore Jain karma theory and what it reveals about Jain ethics, cosmology, and liberation.

Any Estonians in the RFB audience? I'm making a video that features Estonian pre-Christian religion as a primary case-study, and I need images and footage of Estonian sacred groves (I believe called "hiis"). Could use some help sourcing these images!
